This 3x6x1mm collar from Yokomo is an RC-scale accessory intended for positioning and retaining small shafts and linkage rods in electric model assemblies. The pack contains 8 pcs in red, sized to work with shafts where a compact 3x6x1mm collar is required. The part's role is to set axial position, limit endplay, and help maintain consistent alignment in gear trains, drive shafts, and steering linkages without modifying primary components.
To fit: slide the collar onto the shaft to the desired spot, ensure neighbouring components are aligned, then secure it using the appropriate method for your assembly (press fit, a set screw on an adjacent part, or a retaining clip where suitable). Inspect the fit after a short run and check again during setup changes to make sure there is no movement under load.
Practical use: these collars are handy when you need repeatable spacing for bearings, gears, or linkages. The compact 3x6x1mm size is useful in crowded layouts and for small adjustments during maintenance or setup work.
